    Significant storm surge in Laplace. Judging by the map that's got to be either the Mississippi or Lake Ponchartrain flowing through the town. 

    There were reports earlier of the Mississippi flowing backwards/reversing it's course due to the storm surge + wind, and well... all that water has to go somewhere unfortunately.

    Lockport getting absolutely hammered by the eyewall now. (EDIT - it's just gone down. Hope John Humphress is okay!) 

    Amazing how this thing is still Cat 4.

    Back up again, It'll be going up and down like a yoyo as the eye wall passes over.  

    It's kinda difficult for a signal to penetrate what is essentially a small airborne sea of water

    Yeah the house on the right definitely didn't look like that a couple of hours ago! I thought there was one on the left by the tree as well

    Found a bit off footage before the eyewall, entire elevated Front porch has definitely been ripped off and maybe the right side of the building too...

  4. Is that a life jacket stuck to it?  Fluorescent orange plasticly looking material with a black strap (not counting the seeweed)

    Also the building  on the right appears to be half missing during the few frames where it clears up for a sec, that or the entire things been pushed and twisted around o_O

  5. Watching Jokko Williams stream (same site as the little cam that could), he's directly in the path of the eye, and he just had a report that the Mississippi is flowing backwards o_O

    He also just said that he's recording 200mph gusts and156mph sustained at his location.

    He also just had a completely soaked guy come up to his car (with his dogs) asking where the entrance to the building they are parked outside of...

    I refuse to believe it.

    It's the little-cam-that-could. It's got this far... just, well, a lot to go.

     

    I'm wondering if they are using something akin to what they put into the path of a tornado,  Whatever it's attracted to/inside of, has to be heavy and plated.

    So how high is new orleans new levys? 

    According to a quick search, between 18 and 30 foot, but also there's a news article (2019) in the scientific american about how the new ones have been sinking due to ground subsidence.  Which would make them vulnerable within 4 years time...  For some reason I doubt they would have had a cat4 verging on a cat5 in mind when writing it up...

    Sea-level rise and ground subsidence will render the flood barriers inadequate in just four years

     

  8. Just had a Bowling alley pass just to the south again T_T (got clipped by the edge and had about 2 mins of rain  ).  None-stop rumbling for about 10/15 mins, No visible strikes from it, but the cell just a bit further to my south (towards or just past Newcastle) produced 2 (possibly +)cg strikes, nice solid near vertical non flickering bolts that were loud even at my distance from them.

    It’s gone much darker, wind has picked up and there have been a few distant rumblings. It’s so close I can smell it!

     

    Same, can smell the petrichor on the air, and can hear very faint distant rumble.  Passed by me now though, So close and yet so far.

    I think another factor that helps with sleeping is the breeze. The last few nights have not only been hot and humid, but it's been stagnant, so even with windows open there's nothing to flush out the build up of heat during the day. There's a slight breeze this evening, and will be more of a breeze going through the weekend to help force through the cooler evening air. The worst is behind us now.

    Wish it was like that where I am  still 20C here at midnight with no wind what so ever, Feels like I'm working in front of the oven's at Morrisons again but without the ability to move away from them. /urgh...
